"It said I was going to die in battle."
"Then it lied."

Rose wraps her arms around the Doctor's torso and puts her head on his shoulder. "I thought I'd lost you, I thought you were – that you were - " She breaks off, unable to continue.
"Hey," the Doctor murmurs, pulling back a little and cupping her face with his hands. "I'm okay, yeah? You're okay, its okay."
"Yeah, I just – I – oh."
The Doctor leans his forehead against hers. "Rose."
Oh, he could do this forever, just say her name over and over again
"Doctor," she whispers back, her eyes fluttering shut.
"I don't know what I'd do without you."
"Well, that's good, cause I'm not going anywhere, am I?"
But they both know its a lie, what with the Beast today and the
inevitable coming up sooner or later and they're pretending, pretending its gonna be okay,
that everything'll be all right
"Rose, I - " he cuts off abruptly. "I - "
"Its okay, I know, Doctor," she says. "I know. And oh, me too."
She opens her eyes, only to see he's staring at her, his usually chocolate-brown eyes dark, almost black. A shiver runs through her, and then she's leaning up, and he's leaning down, and their lips are touching.
He changes his mind, this is what he would like to do forever, kissing Rose Tyler, feeling her
soft full lips under his
Hesitant and unfamiliar at first, the kiss soon grows exponentially and soon they are grasping desperately at each other, wanting more, needing more, and the Doctor is backing Rose up the grating until her back hits the console as he nibbles at her bottom lip.
And this is heaven, this is, all she ever wanted, and she's aware that
she's being a soppy old romantic right now but she doesn't care because its her and the Doctor
and its wonderful
"Doctor," she gasps, struggling to undo the buttons of his jacket as his lips move from her mouth to her jaw and down her neck, finding that neck-meets-shoulder joint that he's wanted to kiss for
oh so long
before leaving a trail of hot open mouthed kisses up her neck and jaw and taking an earlobe into his mouth.
Rose, having successfully removed his jacket, gasps and arches up into him as he slips a hand under her shirt to stroke delicious circles with his thumb on her back.
"Doctor." She pushes at his chest a little and he pulls back, but before he has the oppurtunity to say anything, she leans up and presses her lips to his again. "Bedroom, yeah?" she mumbles against his mouth.
"Oh yes," he agrees, and the next thing she knows, his hands are at her hips and he's pushing her down the grating and along the corridor, not once removing his mouth from hers.
They find his bedroom after more than a little stumbling, and then its just a flurry of limbs and clothes and Rose and oh God, Doctor and hands are wandering and bodies are touching until they are lying down under the duvet with her arm around his waist and his around her shoulders.

"Rose?"
"Hmm?"
"I love you."
